Taoiseach urges former ministers to reveal information on Anglo deal

Enda Kenny has condemned a “toxic nexus” linking the last Government and bailed-out bankers as he tried to make the Anglo scandal stick to Fianna Fáil.

Ratcheting up his war of words against the main opposition party, Mr Kenny urged former ministers to “stand by the Republic” and declare what they know about the secretive €30bn Anglo guarantee deal.

Fianna Fáil hit back, accusing the Taoiseach of trying to divert attention from the economy slipping back into recession by planning “political show trials”.
